On the topic in general, just to throw in my 2c - I think it depends on who you are talking to. There are times when we will want to focus on desktop, and times to focus on server, as well as other, broader aspects of the project as discussed previously. I'll be interested to hear what comes out of the board's review of the strategy team's work. Balance is on the whole a healthy approach, but I think one area that worries all of us is division of limited resources; I know I'm finding myself pulled in many directions. With so many great things going on, it can be difficult to stay focused. So perhaps we need to have some ideas for tracking tasks, so we know what is being done, our own place in the ecosystem, and can also see where attention is being focused (so areas that are neglected will also stand out). Maybe simple kanban? http://simple-kanban.com/ There might be times when we really need to hone in on one or two things for specific conferences or events; perhaps we need to look at release schedules for different parts of the project and have a cyclical approach. I concur with the need to emphasize end-user, Desktop and non-business functions, because SUSE and Novell have such an established business orientation that many people might overlook openSUSE because of that - forgetting that the very stability and functionality that makes it perfect for business will also enhance their own work and home use. cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
